INTRODUCTION
The General Assembly created the North Carolina Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission
in 1990 to recommend sentencing law reform and a comprehensive community corrections strategy for
the state. In July 1991, the Sentencing Commission published the first Compendium of Community
Corrections Programs in North Carolina. The Sentencing Commission used the information in the
Compendium to develop community corrections policy recommendations that were adopted by the
General Assembly.
This Compendium is the annual update of the first document. The information contained herein
is provided by the individual departments and programs themselves. This updated edition of the
Compendium is offered as an aid to continued policy development in the area of community corrections.
Section I contains updated narratives of the programs including purpose, eligible population,
organizational structure, supervision provided, and statutory authority.
Section II contains program profiles using data from various pretrial programs, the Division of
Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services in the Department of Health
and Human Services, the Division of Community Corrections in the Department of Correction, and
various residential programs located around the state. Where available, data include information about
admissions, types of offenders admitted, terminations, length of stay, program capacity, and program
costs per offender.
Except where otherwise noted, program narratives and data are for Fiscal Year 2008/09.

PRETRIAL SERVICES PROGRAMS
Pretrial Release Programs
Purpose
Many North Carolina counties experience jail population management problems and/or
overcrowding. Most people who are in jail are awaiting trial. In order to manage jail populations,
numerous counties have initiated pretrial services programs designed to expedite release of certain
defendants prior to trial.
Eligible Population
North Carolina statutes require an arrested defendant to be brought before a judicial official
(usually a magistrate) without unnecessary delay in order to determine the legality of the arrest and, if
the arrest is lawful, to determine conditions of pretrial release. A judge reviews the conditions of pretrial
release at the first appearance hearing and subsequent hearings and may modify the conditions at any
time prior to conviction.
In North Carolina, there are four types of pretrial release: (1) a written promise to appear; (2) an
unsecured appearance bond; (3) an appearance bond secured by a cash deposit, mortgage of property, or
a surety by a bondsman; or (4) supervision by some person or organization. North Carolina law allows
flexibility in the pretrial release decision. In each judicial district, the Senior Resident Superior Court
Judge, in consultation with the Chief District Court Judge, issues recommended policies for pretrial
release.
Several levels of pretrial services programs operate in North Carolina counties. Some programs
identify low-risk defendants who can be released with minimal monitoring prior to trial. Some programs
identify defendants who need enhanced pretrial monitoring via electronic monitoring technology or
attendance at a Day Reporting Center. Other programs identify both types of defendants and provide
minimal monitoring to certain defendants and enhanced monitoring to others.
Each pretrial services program sets its own eligibility guidelines in consultation with local
judicial officials. Some programs use an objective score sheet to assess a defendant's eligibility for
supervised pretrial release; others use policy guidelines. Most programs provide information to the
magistrates and/or judges who set the conditions of pretrial release, expedite defendants' appearances in
court to allow prompt review of conditions of pretrial release, and monitor defendants prior to trial.
Organizational Structure
Pretrial service programs are either county-operated or county-funded through contracts with
non-profit programs. The pretrial service program in Guilford County is managed by the Administrative
Office of the Courts and is under the direct supervision of the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge. Not
every county or judicial district has a pretrial program.
Electronic monitoring technology is used for pretrial defendants in counties where it is available.
Some of these counties use the Division of Community Corrections’ regional monitoring center in
Raleigh, while other counties have purchased their own computers for monitoring defendants.
Supervision Provided
In general, pretrial program staff reviews the jail population daily to identify potential candidates
for pretrial release. When defendants are identified, information is collected and verified to determine if
they are a good risk for release prior to trial. Defendants are a good risk if they are likely to appear in
court as scheduled and if they pose a low risk to the community. In some programs, an objective
assessment instrument is used to determine eligibility. Pretrial screeners go to court for the defendant's
first appearance and provide information to the judge. Some programs make recommendations to the
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09

judge and others just provide information. Defendants who are released to the program are monitored
until their court appearances. Monitoring generally involves regular telephone contact or personal
contact in special cases. If the defendant fails to report in, the staff reports the violation to the court and
the court may revoke the pretrial release.
Defendants in electronic monitoring pretrial programs need enhanced monitoring prior to trial in
order to ensure public safety. Electronic monitoring uses computer technology to monitor and restrict
the defendant's movement. Other than approved leave to go to work or to receive rehabilitative services,
the defendant is restricted to his home. Through the use of a transmitter strapped to a defendant's ankle
and linked by telephone lines to a central computer, a continuous signal is emitted. If this signal is
interrupted by the defendant going beyond the authorized radius of the receiver, the host computer
records the date and time of the signal's interruption and the date and time when the signal resumes. If a
signal interruption occurs during a period when the defendant should be at home, the violation is
checked by the nearest patrol deputy or by a designated electronic monitoring response officer from the
sheriff's department. Electronic monitoring continues until the defendant’s court appearance.

Sentencing Services
Purpose
In 1983, the General Assembly enacted the Community Penalties Program Act to reduce prison
overcrowding. In 1999, the General Assembly passed the Sentencing Services Act, renaming the
program Sentencing Services and defining its purpose as “provid[ing] the judicial system with
information that will assist that system in imposing sentences that make the most effective use of
available resources.” N.C. Gen. Stat. § 7A-770 (1999).
Eligible Population
Sentencing Services programs identify and prepare detailed sentencing plans for defendants who:
(1) are charged with or may plead guilty to felony offenses for which the class of offense and prior
record level authorize, but do not require, an active punishment; (2) have a high risk of committing
future crimes without appropriate sanctions and interventions; and (3) would benefit from the
preparation of an intensive and comprehensive sentencing plan. Sentencing Services programs also
prepare sentencing plans for misdemeanor defendants upon judges’ requests.
Organizational Structure
The General Assembly transferred administration of the program to the Office of Indigent
Defense Services (IDS) in 2002. In FY 2008/09, a mix of 27 non-profit, state-operated and county-administered
programs provided services in 66 counties. Local boards of directors govern Sentencing
Services programs within the framework of the Sentencing Services Act and IDS policies. Local
programs run by not-for-profit corporations must raise matching funds equal to a certain percentage of
their state allotments.
Services Provided
An analysis of program activity shows that in FY 2008/09, local Sentencing Services programs
contacted 5,510 offenders, opened 2,023 cases and presented a total of 1,654 sentencing plans to judges.
In addition to identifying and preparing sentencing plans for high-risk eligible offenders as
described above, Sentencing Services programs may contract or arrange for services described in the
sentencing plans. Program staff works with members of the judicial system -- including judges, defense
counsel, prosecutors and probation officers -- as well as community agencies and treatment providers, to
identify resources that meet offenders’ needs. Sentencing plans generally include recommendations for
either regular or intensive probation, victim restitution, community service work and participation in
treatment.
Sentencing Services programs provide pre-adjudication services, and their involvement in
offenders’ cases typically ends at sentencing. Because the Department of Correction has jurisdiction to
monitor and supervise offenders’ compliance with court-ordered sanctions, Sentencing Services
program staff generally does not maintain contact with offenders post-sentencing.

Deferred Prosecution
Purpose
Deferred prosecution is a District Attorney's decision to withhold criminal prosecution in order
for the offender to make amends. The District Attorney agrees to dismiss the case at a point in the future
if the defendant agrees to and complies with certain conditions. These conditions often include victim
restitution or community service work. With court approval, the prosecutor and defendant enter into a
written agreement specifying the conditions the defendant must meet to postpone prosecution.
Eligible Population
The eligible population for deferred prosecution is nonviolent first offenders. By statute, a
defendant who is charged with a Class H or I felony or a misdemeanor and has never previously been
placed on probation may be placed on deferred prosecution. The defendant must agree to certain
conditions; and the victim must be notified of the disposition and given an opportunity to respond. Each
District Attorney sets specific criteria for deferred prosecution in the district.
Organizational Structure
Each District Attorney decides whether to institute a formal deferred prosecution program or to
use it informally on a less frequent basis. At least 19 judicial districts have formal deferred prosecution
programs and numerous districts use it to some degree. When community service work is a condition of
deferred prosecution, community service coordinators in the Department of Correction=s Division of
Community Corrections are authorized to supervise the defendant’s performance. In 13 districts,
probation officers screen and monitor these cases.
There is no information available regarding the total number of personnel involved or the total
costs to administer deferred prosecution. Costs could include District Attorney and Department of
Correction staff, depending on the district.
Supervision Provided
In districts with formal deferred prosecution programs, the prosecutor and the defendant sign a
formal written agreement that specifies the conditions of the deferment. The court approves and
executes the order. When community service work is part of the agreement, community service
coordinators from the Division of Community Corrections screen, coordinate, and monitor the
community service placement. In several districts, probation officers are involved in screening the cases
in the course of doing pre-sentence investigations ordered by the court.
The period of deferred prosecution may not exceed two years. If the defendant complies with the
conditions of the agreement, the case is dismissed. If the defendant does not comply with the conditions
of the deferred prosecution, the court may order that the charge proceed to trial.

COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS PROGRAMS
Drug Treatment Court (DTC)
Purpose
The General Assembly enacted the North Carolina Drug Treatment Act in 1995. North Carolina
General Statute Chapter 7A, Article 62, established the North Carolina Drug Treatment Court (DTC)
Program in the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to enhance and monitor the delivery of
treatment services to chemically-dependent adult offenders while holding those offenders accountable
for complying with their court-ordered treatment plans. Local DTCs provide intensive judicial
supervision to monitor progress in substance abuse treatment and compliance with court conditions. The
goal of DTC is to break the cycle of addiction that gives rise to repeated law-breaking episodes. By
enhancing the likelihood that the offender will remain drug and crime free, DTC seeks to reduce justice
system, health system, and other societal costs associated with continuing drug use and criminal activity.
Eligible Population
The General Assembly defined adult DTC as an Intermediate punishment in July 2004. The
target population for adult DTC is offenders who are:
(1) Diagnosed as chemically dependent; and
(2) (a) sentenced to intermediate punishment; or
(b) sentenced to a community punishment and at risk for revocation.
Local adult drug treatment programs may use funds other than State DTC funds to serve other
specialized populations.
Organizational Structure and Budget
The AOC administers the DTC Program, providing consultation, technical assistance, and
oversight to local DTCs. A State Advisory Committee provides direction and guidance, promulgates
minimum standards, and recommends funding. Between FY 1995/96 and FY 2008/09, the number of
DTCs expanded from 5 to 40. During FY 2008/09, there were 26 operational adult DTCs in Districts
3A, 3B, 5, 9A, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15B, 18, 19B, 21, 24, 25, 26, 28 and 29A. Superior or district court
judges lead the DTC core teams and supervise local directors.
The AOC funds court-based coordinators for DTCs. All treatment is accessed via the public
treatment system.
Supervision Provided
A DTC offender appears before a specially trained judge at (typically) biweekly status hearings
for approximately one year. Prior to the status hearing, the DTC core team (i.e., the judge, district
attorney, defense attorney, treatment provider, DTC case coordinator, TASC, law enforcement liaison
and probation officer) meets to review each offender’s drug test results, treatment attendance, behavior
in the community and treatment plan progress. The core team then recommends appropriate sanctions
and rewards. At the status hearing, the judge engages each offender in an open dialogue about his or her
progress or lack thereof and, if appropriate, imposes rewards or sanctions to stimulate the participant’s
movement through the treatment process. All DTC offenders are involved in intensive outpatient
treatment and are supervised by the Division of Community Corrections at an Intermediate Level.
The following intermediate outcome measures provide feedback on the impact of DTC while the
offender is under its supervision:

Court Attendance
The unique aspect of DTC versus other sanctions is that participants are required to report to
court and interact with the judge about their behavior and progress every two weeks. The court sessions
are personalized and intense.
Retention in Treatment
Retention in a treatment process for up to 12 months is a major objective of DTC. Research
indicates that the longer an addict is in treatment, the more likely he or she is to recover from addiction
and live a law-abiding, healthy life.
Drug Tests
Frequent drug testing is an important element of DTC, measuring the offender’s compliance with
the court’s order and reinforcing treatment. Usually, offenders are tested twice per week.
Reasons for Unsuccessful Terminations
Participants can be terminated from DTC for a variety of reasons, including non-compliance with
court conditions (e.g., failure to report to court, attend treatment, or meet with the probation officer),
positive drug tests, new arrests/convictions, and technical probation violations unrelated to DTC. They
may also be terminated for neutral reasons (e.g., medical reasons).

Mental Health/Substance Abuse Assessment and Treatment Services
Purpose
The purpose of mental health and substance abuse services is to reduce the risk an offender
poses to public safety by addressing the offender's criminogenic (crime-producing) needs.
Eligible Population
Mental health and substance abuse services are community punishments. The sentencing judge
may order an offender to obtain a mental health or substance abuse assessment and comply with any
treatment recommended as a result of that assessment. Mental health and substance abuse services may
be special conditions of unsupervised and supervised probation.
Providing services to individuals with the most severe disabilities while allowing them to live in
communities of their choice is the primary focus of the publicly sponsored mental health, developmental
disabilities and substance abuse system. The target populations described in the State Plan: Blueprint for
Change represent individuals with the most severe types of disabilities; and the publicly-sponsored
mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse specialty system is committed to serving
these populations. Although anyone may seek services through the public system, its resources must be
managed to best meet the needs of these priority populations.
Organizational Structure and Budget
At the local level, governance is provided by an area board and county commissioners with
advice and input from the local consumer and family advisory committee and the local human rights
committee. North Carolina Session Laws 2001-437 and 2006-142 speak directly to the structure, duties,
and responsibilities of counties and area boards with regard to the public mental health, developmental
disabilities, and substance abuse service system. This legislation requires counties to appropriate funds
to support local programs and specifies the structure and organization of area boards.
Supervision Provided
Local Management Entities (LMEs) are responsible for the management and oversight of the
public system of mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse services at the
community level. Each LME plans, develops, implements, and monitors services within a specified
geographic area to ensure expected outcomes for consumers within available resources. The primary
functions of an LME include:
 Access for all citizens to the core services described in G.S. § 122C-2, including 24-hour-a-day,
7-day-a-week screening, triage and referral process and a uniform portal of entry into care.
 Provider endorsement, monitoring, technical assistance, capacity development and quality
control.
 Utilization management, utilization review, and determination of the appropriate level and
intensity of services including the review and approval of the person-centered plans for
consumers who receive State-funded services and concurrent review of person-centered plans for
consumers who receive Medicaid-funded services.
 Authorization of the utilization of State psychiatric hospitals and other State facilities.
 Authorization of eligibility determination requests for recipients under a CAP-MR/DD waiver.
 Care coordination and quality management, including direct monitoring of the effectiveness of
person-centered plans. Monitoring effectiveness includes reviewing client outcomes data
supplied by the provider, direct contact with consumers and review of consumer charts.
 Community collaboration and consumer affairs, including a process to protect consumer rights,
an appeals process, and support of an effective consumer and family advisory committee.

 Financial management and accountability for the use of State and local funds and information
management for the delivery of publicly funded services.

Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities (TASC)
Purpose
Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities (TASC), formerly known as Treatment
Alternatives to Street Crime, is an intervention program for individuals with substance abuse and/or
mental health problems who are involved in the adult criminal justice system. TASC programs offer
screening and assessment; referral and placement; care planning, coordination and management; and
progress reporting to the criminal justice system.
Eligible Population
TASC is a community punishment. Eligible offenders are involved in the adult criminal justice
system and either have been charged with a drug-related offense or indicate a history of or potential for
substance abuse and/or mental health problems. TASC priority populations are (1) offenders sentenced
to a community punishment who have violated probation and are at risk of revocation, (2) offenders
sentenced to an intermediate punishment, and (3) offenders released from prison who have completed a
prison treatment program.
Courts may use TASC as a condition of pretrial release, a deferred prosecution or probation.
TASC is most frequently imposed as a condition of supervised probation.
Organizational Structure
TASC is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental
Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services. Services are available in all 100
counties and are managed by four TASC Regional Coordinating Entities.
Supervision Provided
Depending on the stage of the criminal justice process at which offenders become involved with
TASC, the role of the TASC program may vary. In pretrial cases, TASC works with the defendant, his
or her attorney and the District Attorney to provide information relevant to the outcome of the case.
However, the majority of cases are seen on a post-trial basis.
TASC uses a standardized assessment instrument to determine if the offender has a substance
abuse or mental health need. If a need is documented, a referral is made to an appropriate treatment
provider. The TASC care manager monitors the offender's participation in treatment and reports the
offender's progress to the probation officer. If the offender fails to comply with treatment, the TASC
care manager reports the non-compliance to the probation officer and discusses potential modifications
to the existing service plan. TASC standard operating procedures outline minimum contact
requirements based on the offender’s risk to public safety, consistent with the Structured Sentencing
Act. Offenders referred to TASC are required to submit to urinalysis. Care managers are in frequent
contact with treatment professionals and supervising probation officers to ascertain the offender’s level
of participation and compliance. TASC submits monthly progress reports to the probation officer.
Statutory Authority
There is no specific statutory authorization for TASC. It is administered under the general
provision of services by the Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance
Abuse Services in Chapter 122C of the General Statutes.

Drug Education Schools
Purpose
In 1981, the General Assembly mandated a statewide system of Drug Education Schools (DES)
to target social/recreational possessors of marijuana. The purpose of DES is early intervention in the
pattern of drug use by first offenders charged with certain drug possession offenses.
Eligible Population
DES may be ordered as a condition of probation for persons convicted of, or granted a deferred
prosecution for, certain drug offenses. Participation in DES is authorized by statute for the offenses of
misdemeanor possession of controlled substances, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of less
than one gram of cocaine, or inhaling or possessing toxic vapors. To be eligible for DES, an offender
must have no prior conviction for any offense involving a controlled substance, drug paraphernalia, or
toxic vapors. Offenders must complete DES within 150 days of the imposition of probation.
Some defendants are ordered to participate in DES under a form of "probation without
conviction." Following a verdict or plea of guilty, the court may defer further proceedings without
entering judgment and place the defendant on probation under certain terms and conditions, including
the completion of DES. The court may impose other conditions on the defendant, including any of the
regular conditions of probation. If the defendant violates a condition of probation, the court may enter
an adjudication of guilt and proceed to sentencing. If the defendant successfully completes probation,
the court must discharge the defendant and dismiss the proceedings. The 150-day deadline for
completion of DES does not apply in these cases.
The typical DES offender is a 25-year-old old white male charged with Schedule VI (marijuana)
and drug paraphernalia violations.
Organizational Structure and Budget
Drug Education Schools are administered by the Department of Health and Human Services,
Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services. Each Local
Management Entity for mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse services must
ensure the availability of DES. The staff that provides the DES curriculum has other primary job
responsibilities; and teaching the course is ancillary. Drug Education Schools are self-supporting
through a fee of $150 per case.
Supervision Provided
The DES curriculum is a standardized 15-hour course taught in 150-minute segments. The
curriculum is based on an effective education model, covering topics such as legal, social and financial
implications of substance use and abuse, pharmacology and physiology of drugs, and life skills (peer
pressure, communication, and decision-making). For offenders who participate pursuant to a deferred
prosecution agreement, DES is responsible for managing the case and reporting violations to the court.
When DES is imposed as a condition of supervised probation, staff reports the offender's progress to the
probation officer who is responsible for reporting violations to the court.
Statutory Authority

Fines
Purpose
A fine is a financial penalty. It may be the sole sanction of a community punishment or a
condition of unsupervised or supervised probation.
Eligible Population
A fine is a community punishment and may be imposed for most crimes. Some statutes set a
minimum or a maximum amount for a fine; otherwise the amount is discretionary. The court must
consider the burden that payment will impose in view of the financial resources of the defendant.
Organizational Structure and Budget
There are no identifiable agency costs associated with offenders who receive only a fine.
Supervision Provided
The sentencing judge may order that if the fine is not paid, the offender must appear in court at a
specified time to show cause why he or she should not be imprisoned.

Unsupervised Probation
Purpose
Unsupervised probation is probation without supervision by a probation officer. The offender is
subject to all regular conditions of probation except supervision, which include remaining crime-free,
satisfying child support, not possessing firearms or other deadly weapons, remaining gainfully
employed, and paying court costs and fines.
Eligible Population
Unsupervised probation is a community punishment. It may be imposed on offenders whose
class of offense and prior record or conviction level authorize a community punishment as a sentence
disposition, or who are convicted of impaired driving. The court may place an offender on unsupervised
probation for a maximum of five years. It is generally used for misdemeanants who do not need
supervision in the community.
Organizational Structure and Budget
There are no identifiable agency costs associated with offenders under unsupervised probation.
Supervision Provided
Offenders under unsupervised probation do not receive supervision from a probation officer.
Only a judge can reduce, terminate, continue, extend, modify or revoke unsupervised probation.

Community Service Work Program
Purpose
The purpose of the Community Service Work Program (CSWP) is to enable offenders to repay
the community for damages caused by their criminal acts. CSWP requires the offender to work for free
for public or non-profit agencies in an area that will benefit the greater community. Each offender must
pay a fee of $200.00, which is collected by the Clerk of Superior Court and returned to the State’s
General Fund.
Eligible Population
Five community service work programs began in 1981, under a federal grant. Until 1983, only
first-time property offenders were eligible for CSWP. In 1983, as a part of the Safe Roads Act, CSWP
became a mandatory requirement for some levels of DWI offenders in lieu of prison or jail time. Under
Structured Sentencing, CSWP is considered a community punishment. It is also used as a sanctioning
tool at every stage of the criminal justice system. It may be imposed as the sole sanction if the offender’s
prior record and class of offense allow a community punishment, or used in combination with other
sanctions. Non-violent first offenders are also eligible for CWSP as a condition of a deferred prosecution
agreement. Felony offenders sentenced to prison under the former Fair Sentencing Act are eligible for
Community Service Parole under certain guidelines and restrictions. Community Service Parole is not
available under the Structured Sentencing Act.
Organization and Structure
In 1984, CSWP became a statewide program administered by the Division of Victim and Justice
Services within the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. On January 1, 2002, CSWP was
transferred into the Department of Correction, Division of Community Corrections (DCC), and is now
directly administered by DCC. Each Judicial District is required to have at least one judicial service
coordinator to interview, place and monitor the progress of offenders. During FY 2008/09, there were
138 community service coordinators located across the state, maintaining an average caseload of 172.
Offenders performed 2,014,469 hours of work with an estimated value of $12,682,223.70. Total
community service fees collected in FY 2008/09 were $8,536,185.98.
Supervision Provided
CSWP staff interviews offenders, assigns them to worksite locations, and monitors their progress
in completing their required work hours and paying their CSWP fee. CSWP maintains contact with both
the offender and the work placement agency. For offenders who are on supervised probation or parole,
any non-compliance issue is reported to the probation officer for review and appropriate action. For
offenders on unsupervised probation, the CSWP staff reports the non-compliance to the court or to the
District Attorney’s Office.

Supervised Probation, Post-Release Supervision and Parole
Purpose
The purposes of probation supervision are to control the offender in the community, provide
opportunities for substance abuse and mental health treatment, ensure compliance with the conditions of
probation, and enforce the conditions of probation through the violation process. Offenders are
classified based on their risk to public safety and their criminogenic (crime-producing) needs. Special
conditions may be imposed to further restrict freedom and limit movement in the community, to add
further punitive measures, or to establish a complete individual treatment plan addressing the special
needs and risks of the offender in order to provide realistic opportunities for behavioral change.
The purposes of post-release supervision and parole are to protect the public and assist the
offender in reintegrating into the community after a period of incarceration. Offenders are supervised at
various levels of intensity based on their risk to public safety and criminogenic needs.
Eligible Population
Basic supervised probation is a community punishment. It may be imposed on offenders whose
class of offense and prior record or conviction level authorize a community punishment as a sentencing
disposition, or who are convicted of impaired driving.
If the offender’s class of offense and prior record or conviction level authorize an intermediate
punishment, the court must place the offender on supervised probation and impose one or more of the
following intermediate punishments: special probation, attendance at a residential program, house arrest
with electronic monitoring, intensive probation, assignment to a Day Reporting Center, or assignment to
a Drug Treatment Court program. Offenders who violate probation may also be ordered to enter these
programs from a less restrictive supervision level.
Unless the court makes a specific finding that a longer or shorter term of probation is necessary,
the court must impose no less than 12 months and no more than 30 months of probation for a felon
sentenced to a community punishment, and no less than 18 and no more than 36 months of probation for
a felon sentenced to an intermediate punishment. Historically, probation was used primarily for
misdemeanants; however, felons now represent approximately 30% of admissions to probation annually.
Probationers are a diverse group, from first-offenders to chronic offenders who have committed
property crimes, public order crimes (i.e., drug and alcohol offenses), or assaultive crimes.
Under the Structured Sentencing Act, offenders who are convicted of a Class B1 through E
felony are required to be on post-release supervision after completing their period of incarceration. The
Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission sets the conditions of post-release supervision.
Parole eligibility depends on laws in effect prior to the Structured Sentencing Act. Under these
laws, the Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission determines the parole release date and sets
the conditions of supervision.
Organizational Structure
On June 30, 2009, the Division of Community Corrections in the Department of Correction had
2,016 certified probation/parole officer positions with 2,582 total employees. There were 346
community punishment officers, 1,182 intermediate punishment officers, and 269 surveillance officers.
These officers supervise offenders sentenced by the courts to probation or offenders serving a period of
post-release or parole supervision. The probation/parole population for June 30, 2009 was 113,869. The
Division's goal is to reach caseloads of 110 offenders per officer for those supervising offenders
sentenced to community punishment and 60 offenders per officer for those supervising offenders
sentenced to intermediate punishment.
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09

Supervision Provided
Probation, post-release, and parole supervision vary in intensity and restrictiveness depending on
the level of supervision. The court and the probation officer match the offender to the appropriate
supervision level. The DCC’s Field Operations Policies and Procedures advocate that probation/parole
officers approach the supervision of each case by balancing the elements of treatment and control.
Officers may serve as brokers of community treatment and educational resources as they supervise
offenders to ensure compliance with conditions of probation or parole.
The case management plan, which has been in effect since September 1, 1999, incorporates two
classes of officers: (1) intermediate punishment officers, who supervise intermediate punishment level
cases and community punishment level probation violators, and (2) community punishment officers, who
fulfill the more traditional basic probation/parole officer role. Intermediate punishment officers (PPO III
and PPO II) conduct the vast majority of offender contacts in the field, away from the relative safety of
the office. Community punishment officers (PPO I) supervise community punishment level cases, which
require more limited field contacts with offenders. This supervision strategy emphasizes quality
supervision and the setting of caseload goals according to the officer job class. An intermediate
punishment officer specializing in intensive supervision cases (PPO III) carries 25 intensive cases. The
other type of intermediate punishment officer (PPO II) has a caseload of 60. The goal for the community
punishment officer (PPO I) is a caseload of 110.
For each level of supervision, the Department of Correction requires officers to adhere to
minimum contact standards as summarized below:
I. Intermediate Supervision Standards (Level I) – Intermediate Punishments and Special
Populations
A. Minimum offender contact standards for the first 30 days of supervision:
1. Initial face-to-face contact the day of sentencing or release.
2. Home verification within three calendar days.
3. Offender-management contact after the date of sentencing or release but before the end of
the first 30 days.
4. Face-to-face family contact explaining conditions, rules and regulations.
5. Inform the offender and family of warrantless search conditions, if ordered by the court.
6. Warrantless search for weapons and materials prohibited to special populations or
programs, if ordered by the court.
7. Drug screen, if ordered by the court.
8. Face-to-face weekend contact.
9. Schedule an assessment or referral to appropriate agencies, if ordered by the court.
10. Ensure that all special conditions are acted upon and enforced.
B. Minimum offender contact standards for the duration of Level I supervision:
1. Two face-to-face contacts every 30 days; one offender-management contact and one home
contact.
2. Monthly staffing with Offender Management Team (offender presence not required).
II. Intermediate Supervision Standards (Level II)
Certain offenders enter supervision at Intermediate Level II. These cases require the same first 30-
day supervision standards as Level I. The population for offenders entering Intermediate Level II
includes DWI Level 1 and 2 offenders, offenders receiving post-release supervision, offenders released
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09

from continuous split-sentence, probationers and parolees from other states who are identified by the
Chief Probation/Parole Officer as needing Intermediate supervision, and offenders awaiting placement
into residential community corrections (See A below). Certain offenders move to Intermediate Level II
after completing all of the requirements for Level I supervision. The population moving to Intermediate
Level II includes those who have completed a non-continuous split-sentence, residential community
corrections, house arrest, Day Reporting Centers, Drug Treatment Court and intensive probation.
A. Minimum offender contact standards for the first 30 days of supervision:
1. Initial face-to-face contact the day of sentencing or release. The Probation/Parole Officer
will explain the conditions of supervision and any program rules and regulations.
2. Home verification within 3 calendar days.
3. Offender-management contact after the day of sentencing or release but within first 30
days.
4. Face-to-face family contact explaining conditions, rules and regulations.
5. Inform the offender and the family of warrantless search conditions, if ordered by the
court.
6. Warrantless search, if ordered by the court.
7. Drug screen, if ordered by the court.
8. Face-to-face weekend contact.
9. Schedule an assessment or referral to appropriate agencies, if ordered by the court.
10. Ensure that all special conditions are acted upon and enforced.
B. Minimum offender contact standards for the duration of Level II supervision:
1. One offender-management contact every 30 days.
2. One face-to-face home contact every 60 days.
III. Community Supervision Standards
Officers supervising offenders at the Community level monitor compliance through field and
office supervision, maintaining contacts to ensure that the needs of the offender are met and the risk to
the community remains low. Supervision activities may be increased beyond the minimum requirements
as-needed, as determined by the supervising officer or the Chief Probation/Parole Officer.
A. Minimum case management expectations and offender contact standards for the first 90 days
of supervision:
First 30 days:
1. Initial face-to-face contact the day of sentencing or release.
2. Home verification.
3. Offender-management contact after the date of sentencing or release but before the end of
the first 30 days.
4. Inform the offender and family of warrantless search conditions, if ordered by the court.
5. Drug screen, if ordered by the court.
6. Ensure that all special conditions are acted upon and enforced.
Next 60 days:
1. One offender-management contact every 30 days.
2. Ensure that all special conditions are acted upon and enforced.
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09

At the end of the first 90 days of supervision, the probation/parole officer will evaluate the
offender’s progress to determine whether compliance has been achieved prior to reducing the contact
standards to those described in B., below.
B. Minimum offender contact standards for the duration of Community supervision (offenders in
compliance): One offender-management contact every 90 days.
IV. Suspended Supervision Standards
A. One collateral contact with the offender’s family or acquaintances every 90 days.
B. One criminal record check every 90 days.
When staffing cases with the Chief Probation/Parole Officer, the supervising officer may
administratively increase or decrease the level of supervision within the community or intermediate
range. Decreasing the level provides a measure to reward compliance, while increasing the level
provides increased control measures.

Electronic House Arrest/Electronic Monitoring
Purpose
House arrest with electronic monitoring is a special condition of supervised probation, post-release
supervision, or parole. The purposes of house arrest with electronic monitoring are to restrict the
offender's freedom and movement in the community, to increase supervision of convicted offenders, to
ease prison overcrowding, and to save taxpayers money. House arrest with electronic monitoring is
available statewide through the Department of Correction, Division of Community Corrections.
Eligible Population
House arrest with electronic monitoring is an intermediate punishment. If the offender's class of
offense and prior record level or prior conviction level authorize an intermediate punishment as a
sentence disposition, the judge has the discretion to place an offender on house arrest with electronic
monitoring. Judges or the Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission also may impose this
sanction in response to an offender’s violation of the conditions of probation, parole, or post-release
supervision.
Organizational Structure
All house arrest with electronic monitoring cases are supervised by probation/parole officers who
respond to violations during regular work hours. Designated electronic house arrest response officers
respond to violations after regular work hours.
Supervision Provided
House arrest with electronic monitoring uses GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) technology to
monitor and restrict the offender's movement. Other than approved leave for employment, counseling, a
course of study or vocational training, the offender is restricted to his or her home. A transmitter is fitted
to an offender's ankle and linked to a portable unit carried by the offender which tracks the offender
movement and stores all zones and schedules. This information is downloaded to a central computer. If
this signal is interrupted by the offender going beyond the authorized radius of the receiver or not
complying with the authorized zone and schedule, the host computer records the date and time of the
signal's disappearance. The computer will also record the date and time the signal resumes. If a signal
interruption occurs during a period when the probationer or parolee should be at home, the violation is
checked by the probation/parole officer or by a designated electronic house arrest response officer. The
average stay on house arrest is 3.4 months, after which the offender is initially supervised at
Intermediate Level II.

Day Reporting Centers (Criminal Justice Partnership Program)
Purpose
The purposes of the State-County Criminal Justice Partnership Program (CJPP) are to reduce
recidivism, reduce the number of probation revocations, reduce alcoholism and other drug dependencies
among offenders and reduce the cost of incarceration to the State and counties.
The purposes of a Day Reporting Center (DRC) are to enhance structure, accountability, and
treatment for offenders on supervised probation.
Eligible Population
An adult offender who receives an intermediate punishment or is serving a term of parole or post-release
supervision after an active period of incarceration is eligible for a CJPP program.
A DRC is an intermediate punishment. If the offender's class of offense and prior record or
conviction level authorize an intermediate punishment as a sentence disposition, it is in the judge's
discretion to order an offender to attend a Day Reporting Center Program as a special condition of
supervised probation.
Organizational Structure
CJPP Programs are provided grant funding for the express purpose of establishing community-based
programs that balance control and treatment for a specific population. Eligible populations include
intermediate punishment offenders, community punishment violators who are at risk for revocation, and
offenders on parole or post-release supervision. Programs eligible for CJPP grant monies include DRCs,
satellite substance abuse programs and offender resource centers.
DRCs are operated across the state and focus on program/service delivery to offenders.
Offenders assigned to a DRC report to the center on a structured and frequent basis, receiving such
services as substance abuse treatment, vocational training, GED, and cognitive behavioral interventions.
Local government or non-profit agency employees operate the centers, with the Division of Community
Corrections’ Intermediate Officers supervising the offenders and maintaining a presence in the facilities.
For FY 2008/09, participating CJPP programs served the following 94 counties: Alamance,
Alexander, Alleghany, Anson, Ashe, Avery, Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Buncombe, Burke, Cabarrus,
Caldwell, Camden, Carteret, Catawba, Chatham, Cherokee, Chowan, Clay, Cleveland, Columbus,

Vance, Wake, Warren, Washington, Watauga, Wayne, Wilkes, Wilson, Yadkin, and Yancey.
Available services include, but are not limited to, assessments, screenings, counseling, alcohol
and drug treatment, and educational, vocational, and employment programs and services.
Supervision Provided
DRC participants are required to have frequent contact with DRC staff during the intensive
phases of the program. As the offender complies with program requirements and achieves established
goals, the frequency of contact diminishes accordingly.

RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS
Drug Alcohol Recovery Treatment (DART) – Cherry
Drug Alcohol Recovery Treatment (DART)-Cherry is a residential drug treatment facility
operated by the Department of Correction, Division of Alcohol and Chemical Dependency Programs,
located near the grounds of Cherry Hospital in Goldsboro, North Carolina. DART-Cherry is composed
of two different program types.
DART-28 is a 100-bed unit where predominantly DWI offenders receive treatment for a 28-day
period. The more extensive DART-90 program has two 100-bed units where offenders receive treatment
for a 90-day period. Participation in either program is ordered by the court as a condition of supervised
probation, as a result of a TASC assessment referral, or as a condition of release from prison by the
Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission. After completion of the residential time period, the
offender returns to the community under the supervision of a probation/parole officer.
DART-90 is an intermediate punishment under the Structured Sentencing Act. The 90-day
program operates as a modified therapeutic treatment model. It strives to simulate the experiences of
living in a community, creating opportunities for participants to be part of a family and preparing them
for employment through job readiness courses. The program is divided into four phases: (1) three weeks
of orientation; (2) six weeks of treatment; (3) three weeks of reentry preparation; and (4) aftercare in the
community after release.
During orientation, offenders are introduced to the therapeutic model, including exposure to
rules, substance abuse education, activities, family organization, and mock encounter groups. During
treatment, offenders are involved in three groups to meet with counselors and peers. Offenders are
taught to take responsibility for their actions. Negative behaviors are addressed by their peers and in
encounter groups. Along with various treatment sessions and cognitive behavior intervention, offenders
receive life skills training, employment counseling, and may obtain a GED. The reentry period allows
time to develop a relapse prevention plan, prepare the offender to return to the community, and
coordinate the return with the supervising probation/parole officer. Offenders must also perform eight
hours of community service during the 90-day period.
Delancey Street Foundation
Delancey Street accepts misdemeanor and felony offenders, many of whom have substance
abuse problems. Delancey Street Foundation is a non-profit organization with residential centers in New
York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Mexico, and North Carolina. It is a residential educational
community with a self-governing philosophy that stresses acquiring life and job skills and teamwork. No
government funds are accepted, and no fee is charged; it is a self-supporting enterprise with donations
from the community. No one in Delancey Street Foundation receives a salary.
The North Carolina residence is in Greensboro. It opened in 1987 and has a capacity of 30. Most
residents come to Delancey Street Foundation from criminal justice agencies or the court, but anyone
can ask to come in on their own. Interviews for admission are conducted by other residents of Delancey
Street. Offenders must commit to a two-year stay and may be rotated among residential centers
throughout the country during that period if they are interested. Residents learn academic, vocational,
personal and interpersonal skills on an “each one teach one” concept. Old-fashioned values like the work
ethic and taking care of others are stressed. No professional therapy is provided; no drugs or alcohol or
threats of violence are allowed.

The Center for Community Transitions, Inc.
(formerly ECO, Inc.)
The Center for Community Transitions (CCT) is multi-faceted non-profit organization serving
people with criminal records and their families. Its mission is to strengthen the community by helping
offenders find a healthier and more productive way of living. CCT provides employment and transition
services, supports alternatives to incarceration, and restores and strengthens family bonds. Its programs
are based on two research findings that continue to hold true today: offenders who maintain family ties
while incarcerated and who become employed after incarceration are less likely to return to prison. In
FY 2008/09, CCT served over 2,100 people through its four programs.
The LifeWorks! transition program began in 1974, assisting people with criminal records with
their return to the community. Its goal is to reduce the return to prison or jail by providing stabilization
and reintegration services to people with criminal records and their families. LifeWorks! focuses on pre-release
planning, transition services, employment preparation, employment and retention. Participants
are assisted with basic needs such as housing, food, and clothing, as well as employment readiness and
job searches. LifeWorks! received grants for FY 2008/09 year for additional mental health, substance
abuse and security threat group (gang reentry) case managers, as well as Prison Reentry Initiative
Generation II grants.
Families Doing Time is made up of several components. Parenting classes are provided in the
Mecklenburg County Jail for men and women. Families Doing Time is a support group for families and
friends of inmates that meets twice monthly. Empowering Kids with Incarcerated Parents (EKWIP) is a
school based support group for children of incarcerated parents and offers services to their families.
The Center for Women opened in 1987 as a work release facility for female inmates who are
within three years of a release date. The Center focuses on work release but provides other opportunities
for the women to become better prepared for the transition from prison to the community. Participants
are selected by the Department of Correction based on the inmate’s promotion to Minimum Level III
and desire to participate in the program. The program capacity is 20 residents. Through their earnings,
residents contribute part of the cost of staying at the Center, and make payments toward child support,
restitution, court fees, and fines. The average length of stay is approximately 19 months. By fiscal year
end, the Center for Women will be in a new facility providing opportunities for 30 female inmates from
the western region.
Mecklenburg Sentencing Services became CCT’s fourth program in May of 2006. It provides
sentencing reports to the courts for defendants whose sentencing range includes both intermediate and
active punishment options.
FIRST at Blue Ridge, Inc.
(formerly Forsyth Initiative for Residential Self-Help Treatment, Inc.)
FIRST at Blue Ridge Inc., is a non-profit, long-term residential therapeutic program for
individuals with chronic substance abuse problems. The mission is to provide opportunity, guidance, and
education to those with addictions and assist them to make positive life changes in order to become
responsible and productive members of society. FIRST has been in operation since 1991 and is governed
by a volunteer Board of Directors. The three-acre treatment campus is located east of Asheville in
Ridgecrest, North Carolina; but clients come from across the state. They are referred by many sources
including family members, friends, former graduates, other treatment programs, the judicial system, and
probation and parole. FIRST offers its clients an array of services, including vocational and basic
education, individual and group therapy, referrals to intervention and prevention education for family
members, access to off-site, community-based medical and mental health services and the opportunity
for residents to enroll in local community and state colleges.
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09
2 6
FIRST is a highly structured, modified therapeutic community with a 12-step focused clinical
overlay. Residents in the long-term program pay a one time $170.00 program fee to enter the program
and they commit to remain until they successfully complete all program requirements, which include
completing the program curriculum, academic progress including working towards obtaining a GED,
obtaining a Narcotics or Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor, and active participation in the fellowships.
Residents are eligible to graduate after completing the core curriculum and other clinical activities
assigned by the staff, obtaining and maintaining a twelve-step sponsor, attaining Step Five in AA/NA,
and maintaining continuous gainful employment or college or trade school enrollment. Time in the
program prior to graduation is generally 12 months. At 10 months, a resident may apply for “re-entry”
if they meet the requirements. During re-entry, residents seek employment in the community to begin
saving funds for re-integration into society. Residents with obligations like child support, probation fees,
or restitution begin paying these debts in order to minimize their financial impact upon graduation.
After 12 months in the program or upon graduation, the resident may apply for admission to a
Recovery Cottage. Current cottage residents interview applicants and determine whom they will accept
into “their” houses. Cottage residency can continue up to eighteen months before the resident transitions
to independent living in the community.
“Vets FIRST” is a program available to veterans who have served their country and have a
General or Honorable Discharge. It is designed to prepare homeless, substance abusing veterans for
reintegration into their communities as productive, self-sufficient, and substance free citizens. FIRST is
one of the few groups in the nation to offer substance abuse treatment, case management, job placement
assistance, higher education referral, and room and board to homeless veterans.
FIRST is funded mostly through its Business Training Schools and contracts with local
employers who act as Vocational Training Partners. The Business Training Schools include operations
such as landscaping, local delivery services, painting, flooring and tile, general repair services and
commercial janitorial and custodial services. FIRST has also received support from grants and
foundations and is always seeking new funding streams.
Halfway Houses/Supervised Living SA Facilities
Halfway Houses/Supervised Living Substance Abuse (SA) Facilities are designed to provide
structured living environments for individuals with substance use disorders, and are licensed by the
Department of Health and Human Services as Supervised Living “Half-way houses.”
Halfway house residents must be engaged in outpatient treatment, and the goal is to return the
individual to independent living within a specified time. There are 47 Halfway Houses/Supervised
Living licensed facilities located in the following 25 counties: Alamance, Buncombe, Burke, Cabarrus,
Craven, Cumberland, Davidson, Durham, Forsyth, Gaston, Guilford, Harnett, Lincoln, Mecklenburg,
Moore, New Hanover, Orange, Randolph, Robeson, Rockingham, Sampson, Surry, Union, Vance and
Wayne. The total capacity for the 47 facilities is 618. There are 473 male beds, 145 female beds, and 0
beds for women with children. All beds are specifically for persons with substance use disorders. The
average halfway house has between 6-12 beds and the length of stay ranges from 2 months to 2 years
with an average of approximately 6-8 months.
The majority of facilities receive some public support for their services. In many cases, this
support is funneled through the local mental health and substance abuse public program. The
Department of Vocational Rehabilitation offers support to residents in halfway houses in the form of
training or funds while the person is seeking employment.
Most halfway house residents work in some capacity to help support their stay. Houses have
rules such as curfews, Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous attendance, no substance use, as
well as other policies. There are consequences for rule violations, including expulsion from the house.
These homes also work directly or indirectly with the criminal justice system, as some residents are on
probation or parole.

Oxford House
There are 133 Oxford Houses located in the following 25 counties: Alamance, Buncombe,
Burke, Catawba, Cumberland, Dare, Durham, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Guilford, Harnett, Iredell, Johnston,
Mecklenburg, Nash, New Hanover, Orange, Person, Pitt, Randolph, Rowan, Swain, Vance, Wake, and
Wayne. Oxford House has a total capacity 990 beds, 248 for women and 742 for men. The typical
number of beds in a house is 8.
Oxford House is the model of the self-run and self-supported recovery housing. The residents of an
Oxford House are totally self-supporting: they elect officers, take responsibility for the rent and upkeep
of the house, and operate the group house in a manner that provides mutual support for a fundamental
change in lifestyle to assure long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Attendance at Alcoholics
Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous meetings is mandatory. Each residence pays an average of $100.00
per week.
According to the final resident survey at the end of 2008, 81% of Oxford House residents had
served time in jail or some correctional facility, for an average of 17 months. Most houses had accepted
parolees and probationers as residents within the prior year.
Summit House
During FY 2008-2009, Summit House residential centers in Greensboro, and Charlotte, housed
female offenders (pregnant or the mothers of young children) convicted of nonviolent crimes. The
residential facility in Raleigh, NC is following in the footsteps of the Charlotte and Greensboro Summit
House sites in creating an opportunity to serve more families by using best practice standards, which
will improve programming and facilities. Summit House is currently investigating new options for a
facility in the Triangle.
The goal of Summit House is to break the cycle of crime. At Summit House, the family remains
intact while the woman satisfies her obligation to the criminal justice system. The center uses a
therapeutic community model to focus on improving education and life skills necessary for independent
living. Residents must be 18 or older and eligible for an intermediate punishment as the result of the
conviction for one or more nonviolent offenses; and their children must be 7 years of age or under.
Summit House provides and brokers individual, group, and substance abuse counseling, classes in basic
living skills, and access to GED classes and/or further education.
Summit House assists in returning offenders to employment and provides or brokers services for
the children of residents. The minimum stay at Summit House is 12 months. The total capacity of the
three Summit House residences is 22 families. As plans move forward for relocation of the Raleigh site,
total capacity is expected to increase to 32 families. The annual operating budget is approximately $1.8
million. Funds are provided to Summit House, Inc., a non-profit organization, by private sources and
state and local government sources.
Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers (TROSA)
Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers (TROSA) is a non-profit, two-year
residential, self-help program for substance abusers. The program emphasizes best practices in substance
abuse treatment along with vocational training, educational development, development of interpersonal
skills, and transition of residents back into the community. TROSA serves both men and women ages 18
and older. The program is located in Durham and provides program services for over 350 residents. The
TROSA program is available at no cost to the individual.
Vocational training: TROSA has developed several businesses that provide vocational
experience for residents. All TROSA residents acquire job skills and develop a work ethic through their
training experience; moreover, the income generated from the businesses helps to fund the program

costs. Businesses currently in operation include moving and storage, painting, brick masonry, catering,
lawn maintenance, picture framing, construction, automotive, a furniture store, and auto body and
painting. Consistent with the self-help nature of the program, residents also are involved in the
operations of the facility, which include the financial, administrative, and medical offices.
Educational development: Another critical component of the TROSA program is educational
development. Following the workday, residents without a high school diploma participate in literacy and
GED classes conducted by the Durham Technical Community College and volunteers from the
community. Residents also participate in computer classes held at the on-site computer lab. When
residents reach approximately 19 months in the program, they begin participating in personal finance,
job readiness, and relapse prevention classes. In addition, all residents benefit from daily motivational
and educational seminars. Several special interest and recreational classes also are offered, including
creative writing and art classes, and basketball and softball teams.
Development of interpersonal skills: The third component of the TROSA program relates to
developing interpersonal communication skills. TROSA offers a highly structured environment to help
residents address issues of substance abuse and addiction and establish a new direction for their lives
and families. Group sessions allow residents to benefit from the experiences of others and provide a
forum for interpersonal problem solving. Specific groups and classes are provided in anger management,
parenting, building relationships and gender specific classes for women in recovery. Residents also are
encouraged to volunteer and participate in community activities in order to learn how to have fun
without the influence of drugs and alcohol and to develop communication skills with people outside of
the TROSA community.
Transition back into the community: TROSA has developed a comprehensive program that
assists residents in their transitions back into the community upon graduation. Residents participate in a
job readiness class that prepares them for their job searches and employment outside of TROSA during
the last 3 months in the program. Residents save their incomes to assist them upon graduation. In
addition, residents can purchase cars donated to TROSA at the cost of parts to repair the vehicles.
Lastly, TROSA provides low-cost, sober housing for graduates. Graduates in housing are required to
attend bi-monthly group sessions with other graduates to help them maintain their sobriety.

INTRODUCTION
The General Assembly created the North Carolina Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission
in 1990 to recommend sentencing law reform and a comprehensive community corrections strategy for
the state. In July 1991, the Sentencing Commission published the first Compendium of Community
Corrections Programs in North Carolina. The Sentencing Commission used the information in the
Compendium to develop community corrections policy recommendations that were adopted by the
General Assembly.
This Compendium is the annual update of the first document. The information contained herein
is provided by the individual departments and programs themselves. This updated edition of the
Compendium is offered as an aid to continued policy development in the area of community corrections.
Section I contains updated narratives of the programs including purpose, eligible population,
organizational structure, supervision provided, and statutory authority.
Section II contains program profiles using data from various pretrial programs, the Division of
Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services in the Department of Health
and Human Services, the Division of Community Corrections in the Department of Correction, and
various residential programs located around the state. Where available, data include information about
admissions, types of offenders admitted, terminations, length of stay, program capacity, and program
costs per offender.
Except where otherwise noted, program narratives and data are for Fiscal Year 2008/09.

PRETRIAL SERVICES PROGRAMS
Pretrial Release Programs
Purpose
Many North Carolina counties experience jail population management problems and/or
overcrowding. Most people who are in jail are awaiting trial. In order to manage jail populations,
numerous counties have initiated pretrial services programs designed to expedite release of certain
defendants prior to trial.
Eligible Population
North Carolina statutes require an arrested defendant to be brought before a judicial official
(usually a magistrate) without unnecessary delay in order to determine the legality of the arrest and, if
the arrest is lawful, to determine conditions of pretrial release. A judge reviews the conditions of pretrial
release at the first appearance hearing and subsequent hearings and may modify the conditions at any
time prior to conviction.
In North Carolina, there are four types of pretrial release: (1) a written promise to appear; (2) an
unsecured appearance bond; (3) an appearance bond secured by a cash deposit, mortgage of property, or
a surety by a bondsman; or (4) supervision by some person or organization. North Carolina law allows
flexibility in the pretrial release decision. In each judicial district, the Senior Resident Superior Court
Judge, in consultation with the Chief District Court Judge, issues recommended policies for pretrial
release.
Several levels of pretrial services programs operate in North Carolina counties. Some programs
identify low-risk defendants who can be released with minimal monitoring prior to trial. Some programs
identify defendants who need enhanced pretrial monitoring via electronic monitoring technology or
attendance at a Day Reporting Center. Other programs identify both types of defendants and provide
minimal monitoring to certain defendants and enhanced monitoring to others.
Each pretrial services program sets its own eligibility guidelines in consultation with local
judicial officials. Some programs use an objective score sheet to assess a defendant's eligibility for
supervised pretrial release; others use policy guidelines. Most programs provide information to the
magistrates and/or judges who set the conditions of pretrial release, expedite defendants' appearances in
court to allow prompt review of conditions of pretrial release, and monitor defendants prior to trial.
Organizational Structure
Pretrial service programs are either county-operated or county-funded through contracts with
non-profit programs. The pretrial service program in Guilford County is managed by the Administrative
Office of the Courts and is under the direct supervision of the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge. Not
every county or judicial district has a pretrial program.
Electronic monitoring technology is used for pretrial defendants in counties where it is available.
Some of these counties use the Division of Community Corrections’ regional monitoring center in
Raleigh, while other counties have purchased their own computers for monitoring defendants.
Supervision Provided
In general, pretrial program staff reviews the jail population daily to identify potential candidates
for pretrial release. When defendants are identified, information is collected and verified to determine if
they are a good risk for release prior to trial. Defendants are a good risk if they are likely to appear in
court as scheduled and if they pose a low risk to the community. In some programs, an objective
assessment instrument is used to determine eligibility. Pretrial screeners go to court for the defendant's
first appearance and provide information to the judge. Some programs make recommendations to the
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09

judge and others just provide information. Defendants who are released to the program are monitored
until their court appearances. Monitoring generally involves regular telephone contact or personal
contact in special cases. If the defendant fails to report in, the staff reports the violation to the court and
the court may revoke the pretrial release.
Defendants in electronic monitoring pretrial programs need enhanced monitoring prior to trial in
order to ensure public safety. Electronic monitoring uses computer technology to monitor and restrict
the defendant's movement. Other than approved leave to go to work or to receive rehabilitative services,
the defendant is restricted to his home. Through the use of a transmitter strapped to a defendant's ankle
and linked by telephone lines to a central computer, a continuous signal is emitted. If this signal is
interrupted by the defendant going beyond the authorized radius of the receiver, the host computer
records the date and time of the signal's interruption and the date and time when the signal resumes. If a
signal interruption occurs during a period when the defendant should be at home, the violation is
checked by the nearest patrol deputy or by a designated electronic monitoring response officer from the
sheriff's department. Electronic monitoring continues until the defendant’s court appearance.

Sentencing Services
Purpose
In 1983, the General Assembly enacted the Community Penalties Program Act to reduce prison
overcrowding. In 1999, the General Assembly passed the Sentencing Services Act, renaming the
program Sentencing Services and defining its purpose as “provid[ing] the judicial system with
information that will assist that system in imposing sentences that make the most effective use of
available resources.” N.C. Gen. Stat. § 7A-770 (1999).
Eligible Population
Sentencing Services programs identify and prepare detailed sentencing plans for defendants who:
(1) are charged with or may plead guilty to felony offenses for which the class of offense and prior
record level authorize, but do not require, an active punishment; (2) have a high risk of committing
future crimes without appropriate sanctions and interventions; and (3) would benefit from the
preparation of an intensive and comprehensive sentencing plan. Sentencing Services programs also
prepare sentencing plans for misdemeanor defendants upon judges’ requests.
Organizational Structure
The General Assembly transferred administration of the program to the Office of Indigent
Defense Services (IDS) in 2002. In FY 2008/09, a mix of 27 non-profit, state-operated and county-administered
programs provided services in 66 counties. Local boards of directors govern Sentencing
Services programs within the framework of the Sentencing Services Act and IDS policies. Local
programs run by not-for-profit corporations must raise matching funds equal to a certain percentage of
their state allotments.
Services Provided
An analysis of program activity shows that in FY 2008/09, local Sentencing Services programs
contacted 5,510 offenders, opened 2,023 cases and presented a total of 1,654 sentencing plans to judges.
In addition to identifying and preparing sentencing plans for high-risk eligible offenders as
described above, Sentencing Services programs may contract or arrange for services described in the
sentencing plans. Program staff works with members of the judicial system -- including judges, defense
counsel, prosecutors and probation officers -- as well as community agencies and treatment providers, to
identify resources that meet offenders’ needs. Sentencing plans generally include recommendations for
either regular or intensive probation, victim restitution, community service work and participation in
treatment.
Sentencing Services programs provide pre-adjudication services, and their involvement in
offenders’ cases typically ends at sentencing. Because the Department of Correction has jurisdiction to
monitor and supervise offenders’ compliance with court-ordered sanctions, Sentencing Services
program staff generally does not maintain contact with offenders post-sentencing.
Statutory Authority
N.C. Gen. Stat. Chapter 7A, Article 61.

Deferred Prosecution
Purpose
Deferred prosecution is a District Attorney's decision to withhold criminal prosecution in order
for the offender to make amends. The District Attorney agrees to dismiss the case at a point in the future
if the defendant agrees to and complies with certain conditions. These conditions often include victim
restitution or community service work. With court approval, the prosecutor and defendant enter into a
written agreement specifying the conditions the defendant must meet to postpone prosecution.
Eligible Population
The eligible population for deferred prosecution is nonviolent first offenders. By statute, a
defendant who is charged with a Class H or I felony or a misdemeanor and has never previously been
placed on probation may be placed on deferred prosecution. The defendant must agree to certain
conditions; and the victim must be notified of the disposition and given an opportunity to respond. Each
District Attorney sets specific criteria for deferred prosecution in the district.
Organizational Structure
Each District Attorney decides whether to institute a formal deferred prosecution program or to
use it informally on a less frequent basis. At least 19 judicial districts have formal deferred prosecution
programs and numerous districts use it to some degree. When community service work is a condition of
deferred prosecution, community service coordinators in the Department of Correction=s Division of
Community Corrections are authorized to supervise the defendant’s performance. In 13 districts,
probation officers screen and monitor these cases.
There is no information available regarding the total number of personnel involved or the total
costs to administer deferred prosecution. Costs could include District Attorney and Department of
Correction staff, depending on the district.
Supervision Provided
In districts with formal deferred prosecution programs, the prosecutor and the defendant sign a
formal written agreement that specifies the conditions of the deferment. The court approves and
executes the order. When community service work is part of the agreement, community service
coordinators from the Division of Community Corrections screen, coordinate, and monitor the
community service placement. In several districts, probation officers are involved in screening the cases
in the course of doing pre-sentence investigations ordered by the court.
The period of deferred prosecution may not exceed two years. If the defendant complies with the
conditions of the agreement, the case is dismissed. If the defendant does not comply with the conditions
of the deferred prosecution, the court may order that the charge proceed to trial.

COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS PROGRAMS
Drug Treatment Court (DTC)
Purpose
The General Assembly enacted the North Carolina Drug Treatment Act in 1995. North Carolina
General Statute Chapter 7A, Article 62, established the North Carolina Drug Treatment Court (DTC)
Program in the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to enhance and monitor the delivery of
treatment services to chemically-dependent adult offenders while holding those offenders accountable
for complying with their court-ordered treatment plans. Local DTCs provide intensive judicial
supervision to monitor progress in substance abuse treatment and compliance with court conditions. The
goal of DTC is to break the cycle of addiction that gives rise to repeated law-breaking episodes. By
enhancing the likelihood that the offender will remain drug and crime free, DTC seeks to reduce justice
system, health system, and other societal costs associated with continuing drug use and criminal activity.
Eligible Population
The General Assembly defined adult DTC as an Intermediate punishment in July 2004. The
target population for adult DTC is offenders who are:
(1) Diagnosed as chemically dependent; and
(2) (a) sentenced to intermediate punishment; or
(b) sentenced to a community punishment and at risk for revocation.
Local adult drug treatment programs may use funds other than State DTC funds to serve other
specialized populations.
Organizational Structure and Budget
The AOC administers the DTC Program, providing consultation, technical assistance, and
oversight to local DTCs. A State Advisory Committee provides direction and guidance, promulgates
minimum standards, and recommends funding. Between FY 1995/96 and FY 2008/09, the number of
DTCs expanded from 5 to 40. During FY 2008/09, there were 26 operational adult DTCs in Districts
3A, 3B, 5, 9A, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15B, 18, 19B, 21, 24, 25, 26, 28 and 29A. Superior or district court
judges lead the DTC core teams and supervise local directors.
The AOC funds court-based coordinators for DTCs. All treatment is accessed via the public
treatment system.
Supervision Provided
A DTC offender appears before a specially trained judge at (typically) biweekly status hearings
for approximately one year. Prior to the status hearing, the DTC core team (i.e., the judge, district
attorney, defense attorney, treatment provider, DTC case coordinator, TASC, law enforcement liaison
and probation officer) meets to review each offender’s drug test results, treatment attendance, behavior
in the community and treatment plan progress. The core team then recommends appropriate sanctions
and rewards. At the status hearing, the judge engages each offender in an open dialogue about his or her
progress or lack thereof and, if appropriate, imposes rewards or sanctions to stimulate the participant’s
movement through the treatment process. All DTC offenders are involved in intensive outpatient
treatment and are supervised by the Division of Community Corrections at an Intermediate Level.
The following intermediate outcome measures provide feedback on the impact of DTC while the
offender is under its supervision:

Court Attendance
The unique aspect of DTC versus other sanctions is that participants are required to report to
court and interact with the judge about their behavior and progress every two weeks. The court sessions
are personalized and intense.
Retention in Treatment
Retention in a treatment process for up to 12 months is a major objective of DTC. Research
indicates that the longer an addict is in treatment, the more likely he or she is to recover from addiction
and live a law-abiding, healthy life.
Drug Tests
Frequent drug testing is an important element of DTC, measuring the offender’s compliance with
the court’s order and reinforcing treatment. Usually, offenders are tested twice per week.
Reasons for Unsuccessful Terminations
Participants can be terminated from DTC for a variety of reasons, including non-compliance with
court conditions (e.g., failure to report to court, attend treatment, or meet with the probation officer),
positive drug tests, new arrests/convictions, and technical probation violations unrelated to DTC. They
may also be terminated for neutral reasons (e.g., medical reasons).

Mental Health/Substance Abuse Assessment and Treatment Services
Purpose
The purpose of mental health and substance abuse services is to reduce the risk an offender
poses to public safety by addressing the offender's criminogenic (crime-producing) needs.
Eligible Population
Mental health and substance abuse services are community punishments. The sentencing judge
may order an offender to obtain a mental health or substance abuse assessment and comply with any
treatment recommended as a result of that assessment. Mental health and substance abuse services may
be special conditions of unsupervised and supervised probation.
Providing services to individuals with the most severe disabilities while allowing them to live in
communities of their choice is the primary focus of the publicly sponsored mental health, developmental
disabilities and substance abuse system. The target populations described in the State Plan: Blueprint for
Change represent individuals with the most severe types of disabilities; and the publicly-sponsored
mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse specialty system is committed to serving
these populations. Although anyone may seek services through the public system, its resources must be
managed to best meet the needs of these priority populations.
Organizational Structure and Budget
At the local level, governance is provided by an area board and county commissioners with
advice and input from the local consumer and family advisory committee and the local human rights
committee. North Carolina Session Laws 2001-437 and 2006-142 speak directly to the structure, duties,
and responsibilities of counties and area boards with regard to the public mental health, developmental
disabilities, and substance abuse service system. This legislation requires counties to appropriate funds
to support local programs and specifies the structure and organization of area boards.
Supervision Provided
Local Management Entities (LMEs) are responsible for the management and oversight of the
public system of mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse services at the
community level. Each LME plans, develops, implements, and monitors services within a specified
geographic area to ensure expected outcomes for consumers within available resources. The primary
functions of an LME include:
 Access for all citizens to the core services described in G.S. § 122C-2, including 24-hour-a-day,
7-day-a-week screening, triage and referral process and a uniform portal of entry into care.
 Provider endorsement, monitoring, technical assistance, capacity development and quality
control.
 Utilization management, utilization review, and determination of the appropriate level and
intensity of services including the review and approval of the person-centered plans for
consumers who receive State-funded services and concurrent review of person-centered plans for
consumers who receive Medicaid-funded services.
 Authorization of the utilization of State psychiatric hospitals and other State facilities.
 Authorization of eligibility determination requests for recipients under a CAP-MR/DD waiver.
 Care coordination and quality management, including direct monitoring of the effectiveness of
person-centered plans. Monitoring effectiveness includes reviewing client outcomes data
supplied by the provider, direct contact with consumers and review of consumer charts.
 Community collaboration and consumer affairs, including a process to protect consumer rights,
an appeals process, and support of an effective consumer and family advisory committee.

 Financial management and accountability for the use of State and local funds and information
management for the delivery of publicly funded services.

Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities (TASC)
Purpose
Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities (TASC), formerly known as Treatment
Alternatives to Street Crime, is an intervention program for individuals with substance abuse and/or
mental health problems who are involved in the adult criminal justice system. TASC programs offer
screening and assessment; referral and placement; care planning, coordination and management; and
progress reporting to the criminal justice system.
Eligible Population
TASC is a community punishment. Eligible offenders are involved in the adult criminal justice
system and either have been charged with a drug-related offense or indicate a history of or potential for
substance abuse and/or mental health problems. TASC priority populations are (1) offenders sentenced
to a community punishment who have violated probation and are at risk of revocation, (2) offenders
sentenced to an intermediate punishment, and (3) offenders released from prison who have completed a
prison treatment program.
Courts may use TASC as a condition of pretrial release, a deferred prosecution or probation.
TASC is most frequently imposed as a condition of supervised probation.
Organizational Structure
TASC is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental
Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services. Services are available in all 100
counties and are managed by four TASC Regional Coordinating Entities.
Supervision Provided
Depending on the stage of the criminal justice process at which offenders become involved with
TASC, the role of the TASC program may vary. In pretrial cases, TASC works with the defendant, his
or her attorney and the District Attorney to provide information relevant to the outcome of the case.
However, the majority of cases are seen on a post-trial basis.
TASC uses a standardized assessment instrument to determine if the offender has a substance
abuse or mental health need. If a need is documented, a referral is made to an appropriate treatment
provider. The TASC care manager monitors the offender's participation in treatment and reports the
offender's progress to the probation officer. If the offender fails to comply with treatment, the TASC
care manager reports the non-compliance to the probation officer and discusses potential modifications
to the existing service plan. TASC standard operating procedures outline minimum contact
requirements based on the offender’s risk to public safety, consistent with the Structured Sentencing
Act. Offenders referred to TASC are required to submit to urinalysis. Care managers are in frequent
contact with treatment professionals and supervising probation officers to ascertain the offender’s level
of participation and compliance. TASC submits monthly progress reports to the probation officer.
Statutory Authority
There is no specific statutory authorization for TASC. It is administered under the general
provision of services by the Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance
Abuse Services in Chapter 122C of the General Statutes.
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09

Drug Education Schools
Purpose
In 1981, the General Assembly mandated a statewide system of Drug Education Schools (DES)
to target social/recreational possessors of marijuana. The purpose of DES is early intervention in the
pattern of drug use by first offenders charged with certain drug possession offenses.
Eligible Population
DES may be ordered as a condition of probation for persons convicted of, or granted a deferred
prosecution for, certain drug offenses. Participation in DES is authorized by statute for the offenses of
misdemeanor possession of controlled substances, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of less
than one gram of cocaine, or inhaling or possessing toxic vapors. To be eligible for DES, an offender
must have no prior conviction for any offense involving a controlled substance, drug paraphernalia, or
toxic vapors. Offenders must complete DES within 150 days of the imposition of probation.
Some defendants are ordered to participate in DES under a form of "probation without
conviction." Following a verdict or plea of guilty, the court may defer further proceedings without
entering judgment and place the defendant on probation under certain terms and conditions, including
the completion of DES. The court may impose other conditions on the defendant, including any of the
regular conditions of probation. If the defendant violates a condition of probation, the court may enter
an adjudication of guilt and proceed to sentencing. If the defendant successfully completes probation,
the court must discharge the defendant and dismiss the proceedings. The 150-day deadline for
completion of DES does not apply in these cases.
The typical DES offender is a 25-year-old old white male charged with Schedule VI (marijuana)
and drug paraphernalia violations.
Organizational Structure and Budget
Drug Education Schools are administered by the Department of Health and Human Services,
Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services. Each Local
Management Entity for mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse services must
ensure the availability of DES. The staff that provides the DES curriculum has other primary job
responsibilities; and teaching the course is ancillary. Drug Education Schools are self-supporting
through a fee of $150 per case.
Supervision Provided
The DES curriculum is a standardized 15-hour course taught in 150-minute segments. The
curriculum is based on an effective education model, covering topics such as legal, social and financial
implications of substance use and abuse, pharmacology and physiology of drugs, and life skills (peer
pressure, communication, and decision-making). For offenders who participate pursuant to a deferred
prosecution agreement, DES is responsible for managing the case and reporting violations to the court.
When DES is imposed as a condition of supervised probation, staff reports the offender's progress to the
probation officer who is responsible for reporting violations to the court.

Fines
Purpose
A fine is a financial penalty. It may be the sole sanction of a community punishment or a
condition of unsupervised or supervised probation.
Eligible Population
A fine is a community punishment and may be imposed for most crimes. Some statutes set a
minimum or a maximum amount for a fine; otherwise the amount is discretionary. The court must
consider the burden that payment will impose in view of the financial resources of the defendant.
Organizational Structure and Budget
There are no identifiable agency costs associated with offenders who receive only a fine.
Supervision Provided
The sentencing judge may order that if the fine is not paid, the offender must appear in court at a
specified time to show cause why he or she should not be imprisoned.

Unsupervised Probation
Purpose
Unsupervised probation is probation without supervision by a probation officer. The offender is
subject to all regular conditions of probation except supervision, which include remaining crime-free,
satisfying child support, not possessing firearms or other deadly weapons, remaining gainfully
employed, and paying court costs and fines.
Eligible Population
Unsupervised probation is a community punishment. It may be imposed on offenders whose
class of offense and prior record or conviction level authorize a community punishment as a sentence
disposition, or who are convicted of impaired driving. The court may place an offender on unsupervised
probation for a maximum of five years. It is generally used for misdemeanants who do not need
supervision in the community.
Organizational Structure and Budget
There are no identifiable agency costs associated with offenders under unsupervised probation.
Supervision Provided
Offenders under unsupervised probation do not receive supervision from a probation officer.
Only a judge can reduce, terminate, continue, extend, modify or revoke unsupervised probation.
Statutory Authority
N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 15A-1341 through 15A-1347.

Community Service Work Program
Purpose
The purpose of the Community Service Work Program (CSWP) is to enable offenders to repay
the community for damages caused by their criminal acts. CSWP requires the offender to work for free
for public or non-profit agencies in an area that will benefit the greater community. Each offender must
pay a fee of $200.00, which is collected by the Clerk of Superior Court and returned to the State’s
General Fund.
Eligible Population
Five community service work programs began in 1981, under a federal grant. Until 1983, only
first-time property offenders were eligible for CSWP. In 1983, as a part of the Safe Roads Act, CSWP
became a mandatory requirement for some levels of DWI offenders in lieu of prison or jail time. Under
Structured Sentencing, CSWP is considered a community punishment. It is also used as a sanctioning
tool at every stage of the criminal justice system. It may be imposed as the sole sanction if the offender’s
prior record and class of offense allow a community punishment, or used in combination with other
sanctions. Non-violent first offenders are also eligible for CWSP as a condition of a deferred prosecution
agreement. Felony offenders sentenced to prison under the former Fair Sentencing Act are eligible for
Community Service Parole under certain guidelines and restrictions. Community Service Parole is not
available under the Structured Sentencing Act.
Organization and Structure
In 1984, CSWP became a statewide program administered by the Division of Victim and Justice
Services within the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. On January 1, 2002, CSWP was
transferred into the Department of Correction, Division of Community Corrections (DCC), and is now
directly administered by DCC. Each Judicial District is required to have at least one judicial service
coordinator to interview, place and monitor the progress of offenders. During FY 2008/09, there were
138 community service coordinators located across the state, maintaining an average caseload of 172.
Offenders performed 2,014,469 hours of work with an estimated value of $12,682,223.70. Total
community service fees collected in FY 2008/09 were $8,536,185.98.
Supervision Provided
CSWP staff interviews offenders, assigns them to worksite locations, and monitors their progress
in completing their required work hours and paying their CSWP fee. CSWP maintains contact with both
the offender and the work placement agency. For offenders who are on supervised probation or parole,
any non-compliance issue is reported to the probation officer for review and appropriate action. For
offenders on unsupervised probation, the CSWP staff reports the non-compliance to the court or to the
District Attorney’s Office.

Supervised Probation, Post-Release Supervision and Parole
Purpose
The purposes of probation supervision are to control the offender in the community, provide
opportunities for substance abuse and mental health treatment, ensure compliance with the conditions of
probation, and enforce the conditions of probation through the violation process. Offenders are
classified based on their risk to public safety and their criminogenic (crime-producing) needs. Special
conditions may be imposed to further restrict freedom and limit movement in the community, to add
further punitive measures, or to establish a complete individual treatment plan addressing the special
needs and risks of the offender in order to provide realistic opportunities for behavioral change.
The purposes of post-release supervision and parole are to protect the public and assist the
offender in reintegrating into the community after a period of incarceration. Offenders are supervised at
various levels of intensity based on their risk to public safety and criminogenic needs.
Eligible Population
Basic supervised probation is a community punishment. It may be imposed on offenders whose
class of offense and prior record or conviction level authorize a community punishment as a sentencing
disposition, or who are convicted of impaired driving.
If the offender’s class of offense and prior record or conviction level authorize an intermediate
punishment, the court must place the offender on supervised probation and impose one or more of the
following intermediate punishments: special probation, attendance at a residential program, house arrest
with electronic monitoring, intensive probation, assignment to a Day Reporting Center, or assignment to
a Drug Treatment Court program. Offenders who violate probation may also be ordered to enter these
programs from a less restrictive supervision level.
Unless the court makes a specific finding that a longer or shorter term of probation is necessary,
the court must impose no less than 12 months and no more than 30 months of probation for a felon
sentenced to a community punishment, and no less than 18 and no more than 36 months of probation for
a felon sentenced to an intermediate punishment. Historically, probation was used primarily for
misdemeanants; however, felons now represent approximately 30% of admissions to probation annually.
Probationers are a diverse group, from first-offenders to chronic offenders who have committed
property crimes, public order crimes (i.e., drug and alcohol offenses), or assaultive crimes.
Under the Structured Sentencing Act, offenders who are convicted of a Class B1 through E
felony are required to be on post-release supervision after completing their period of incarceration. The
Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission sets the conditions of post-release supervision.
Parole eligibility depends on laws in effect prior to the Structured Sentencing Act. Under these
laws, the Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission determines the parole release date and sets
the conditions of supervision.
Organizational Structure
On June 30, 2009, the Division of Community Corrections in the Department of Correction had
2,016 certified probation/parole officer positions with 2,582 total employees. There were 346
community punishment officers, 1,182 intermediate punishment officers, and 269 surveillance officers.
These officers supervise offenders sentenced by the courts to probation or offenders serving a period of
post-release or parole supervision. The probation/parole population for June 30, 2009 was 113,869. The
Division's goal is to reach caseloads of 110 offenders per officer for those supervising offenders
sentenced to community punishment and 60 offenders per officer for those supervising offenders
sentenced to intermediate punishment.

Supervision Provided
Probation, post-release, and parole supervision vary in intensity and restrictiveness depending on
the level of supervision. The court and the probation officer match the offender to the appropriate
supervision level. The DCC’s Field Operations Policies and Procedures advocate that probation/parole
officers approach the supervision of each case by balancing the elements of treatment and control.
Officers may serve as brokers of community treatment and educational resources as they supervise
offenders to ensure compliance with conditions of probation or parole.
The case management plan, which has been in effect since September 1, 1999, incorporates two
classes of officers: (1) intermediate punishment officers, who supervise intermediate punishment level
cases and community punishment level probation violators, and (2) community punishment officers, who
fulfill the more traditional basic probation/parole officer role. Intermediate punishment officers (PPO III
and PPO II) conduct the vast majority of offender contacts in the field, away from the relative safety of
the office. Community punishment officers (PPO I) supervise community punishment level cases, which
require more limited field contacts with offenders. This supervision strategy emphasizes quality
supervision and the setting of caseload goals according to the officer job class. An intermediate
punishment officer specializing in intensive supervision cases (PPO III) carries 25 intensive cases. The
other type of intermediate punishment officer (PPO II) has a caseload of 60. The goal for the community
punishment officer (PPO I) is a caseload of 110.
For each level of supervision, the Department of Correction requires officers to adhere to
minimum contact standards as summarized below:
I. Intermediate Supervision Standards (Level I) – Intermediate Punishments and Special
Populations
A. Minimum offender contact standards for the first 30 days of supervision:
1. Initial face-to-face contact the day of sentencing or release.
2. Home verification within three calendar days.
3. Offender-management contact after the date of sentencing or release but before the end of
the first 30 days.
4. Face-to-face family contact explaining conditions, rules and regulations.
5. Inform the offender and family of warrantless search conditions, if ordered by the court.
6. Warrantless search for weapons and materials prohibited to special populations or
programs, if ordered by the court.
7. Drug screen, if ordered by the court.
8. Face-to-face weekend contact.
9. Schedule an assessment or referral to appropriate agencies, if ordered by the court.
10. Ensure that all special conditions are acted upon and enforced.
B. Minimum offender contact standards for the duration of Level I supervision:
1. Two face-to-face contacts every 30 days; one offender-management contact and one home
contact.
2. Monthly staffing with Offender Management Team (offender presence not required).
II. Intermediate Supervision Standards (Level II)
Certain offenders enter supervision at Intermediate Level II. These cases require the same first 30-
day supervision standards as Level I. The population for offenders entering Intermediate Level II
includes DWI Level 1 and 2 offenders, offenders receiving post-release supervision, offenders released
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09
2 0
from continuous split-sentence, probationers and parolees from other states who are identified by the
Chief Probation/Parole Officer as needing Intermediate supervision, and offenders awaiting placement
into residential community corrections (See A below). Certain offenders move to Intermediate Level II
after completing all of the requirements for Level I supervision. The population moving to Intermediate
Level II includes those who have completed a non-continuous split-sentence, residential community
corrections, house arrest, Day Reporting Centers, Drug Treatment Court and intensive probation.
A. Minimum offender contact standards for the first 30 days of supervision:
1. Initial face-to-face contact the day of sentencing or release. The Probation/Parole Officer
will explain the conditions of supervision and any program rules and regulations.
2. Home verification within 3 calendar days.
3. Offender-management contact after the day of sentencing or release but within first 30
days.
4. Face-to-face family contact explaining conditions, rules and regulations.
5. Inform the offender and the family of warrantless search conditions, if ordered by the
court.
6. Warrantless search, if ordered by the court.
7. Drug screen, if ordered by the court.
8. Face-to-face weekend contact.
9. Schedule an assessment or referral to appropriate agencies, if ordered by the court.
10. Ensure that all special conditions are acted upon and enforced.
B. Minimum offender contact standards for the duration of Level II supervision:
1. One offender-management contact every 30 days.
2. One face-to-face home contact every 60 days.
III. Community Supervision Standards
Officers supervising offenders at the Community level monitor compliance through field and
office supervision, maintaining contacts to ensure that the needs of the offender are met and the risk to
the community remains low. Supervision activities may be increased beyond the minimum requirements
as-needed, as determined by the supervising officer or the Chief Probation/Parole Officer.
A. Minimum case management expectations and offender contact standards for the first 90 days
of supervision:
First 30 days:
1. Initial face-to-face contact the day of sentencing or release.
2. Home verification.
3. Offender-management contact after the date of sentencing or release but before the end of
the first 30 days.
4. Inform the offender and family of warrantless search conditions, if ordered by the court.
5. Drug screen, if ordered by the court.
6. Ensure that all special conditions are acted upon and enforced.
Next 60 days:
1. One offender-management contact every 30 days.
2. Ensure that all special conditions are acted upon and enforced.
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09
21
At the end of the first 90 days of supervision, the probation/parole officer will evaluate the
offender’s progress to determine whether compliance has been achieved prior to reducing the contact
standards to those described in B., below.
B. Minimum offender contact standards for the duration of Community supervision (offenders in
compliance): One offender-management contact every 90 days.
IV. Suspended Supervision Standards
A. One collateral contact with the offender’s family or acquaintances every 90 days.
B. One criminal record check every 90 days.
When staffing cases with the Chief Probation/Parole Officer, the supervising officer may
administratively increase or decrease the level of supervision within the community or intermediate
range. Decreasing the level provides a measure to reward compliance, while increasing the level
provides increased control measures.

Electronic House Arrest/Electronic Monitoring
Purpose
House arrest with electronic monitoring is a special condition of supervised probation, post-release
supervision, or parole. The purposes of house arrest with electronic monitoring are to restrict the
offender's freedom and movement in the community, to increase supervision of convicted offenders, to
ease prison overcrowding, and to save taxpayers money. House arrest with electronic monitoring is
available statewide through the Department of Correction, Division of Community Corrections.
Eligible Population
House arrest with electronic monitoring is an intermediate punishment. If the offender's class of
offense and prior record level or prior conviction level authorize an intermediate punishment as a
sentence disposition, the judge has the discretion to place an offender on house arrest with electronic
monitoring. Judges or the Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission also may impose this
sanction in response to an offender’s violation of the conditions of probation, parole, or post-release
supervision.
Organizational Structure
All house arrest with electronic monitoring cases are supervised by probation/parole officers who
respond to violations during regular work hours. Designated electronic house arrest response officers
respond to violations after regular work hours.
Supervision Provided
House arrest with electronic monitoring uses GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) technology to
monitor and restrict the offender's movement. Other than approved leave for employment, counseling, a
course of study or vocational training, the offender is restricted to his or her home. A transmitter is fitted
to an offender's ankle and linked to a portable unit carried by the offender which tracks the offender
movement and stores all zones and schedules. This information is downloaded to a central computer. If
this signal is interrupted by the offender going beyond the authorized radius of the receiver or not
complying with the authorized zone and schedule, the host computer records the date and time of the
signal's disappearance. The computer will also record the date and time the signal resumes. If a signal
interruption occurs during a period when the probationer or parolee should be at home, the violation is
checked by the probation/parole officer or by a designated electronic house arrest response officer. The
average stay on house arrest is 3.4 months, after which the offender is initially supervised at
Intermediate Level II.

Day Reporting Centers (Criminal Justice Partnership Program)
Purpose
The purposes of the State-County Criminal Justice Partnership Program (CJPP) are to reduce
recidivism, reduce the number of probation revocations, reduce alcoholism and other drug dependencies
among offenders and reduce the cost of incarceration to the State and counties.
The purposes of a Day Reporting Center (DRC) are to enhance structure, accountability, and
treatment for offenders on supervised probation.
Eligible Population
An adult offender who receives an intermediate punishment or is serving a term of parole or post-release
supervision after an active period of incarceration is eligible for a CJPP program.
A DRC is an intermediate punishment. If the offender's class of offense and prior record or
conviction level authorize an intermediate punishment as a sentence disposition, it is in the judge's
discretion to order an offender to attend a Day Reporting Center Program as a special condition of
supervised probation.
Organizational Structure
CJPP Programs are provided grant funding for the express purpose of establishing community-based
programs that balance control and treatment for a specific population. Eligible populations include
intermediate punishment offenders, community punishment violators who are at risk for revocation, and
offenders on parole or post-release supervision. Programs eligible for CJPP grant monies include DRCs,
satellite substance abuse programs and offender resource centers.
DRCs are operated across the state and focus on program/service delivery to offenders.
Offenders assigned to a DRC report to the center on a structured and frequent basis, receiving such
services as substance abuse treatment, vocational training, GED, and cognitive behavioral interventions.
Local government or non-profit agency employees operate the centers, with the Division of Community
Corrections’ Intermediate Officers supervising the offenders and maintaining a presence in the facilities.
For FY 2008/09, participating CJPP programs served the following 94 counties: Alamance,
Alexander, Alleghany, Anson, Ashe, Avery, Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Buncombe, Burke, Cabarrus,
Caldwell, Camden, Carteret, Catawba, Chatham, Cherokee, Chowan, Clay, Cleveland, Columbus,

Available services include, but are not limited to, assessments, screenings, counseling, alcohol
and drug treatment, and educational, vocational, and employment programs and services.
Supervision Provided
DRC participants are required to have frequent contact with DRC staff during the intensive
phases of the program. As the offender complies with program requirements and achieves established
goals, the frequency of contact diminishes accordingly.

RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS
Drug Alcohol Recovery Treatment (DART) – Cherry
Drug Alcohol Recovery Treatment (DART)-Cherry is a residential drug treatment facility
operated by the Department of Correction, Division of Alcohol and Chemical Dependency Programs,
located near the grounds of Cherry Hospital in Goldsboro, North Carolina. DART-Cherry is composed
of two different program types.
DART-28 is a 100-bed unit where predominantly DWI offenders receive treatment for a 28-day
period. The more extensive DART-90 program has two 100-bed units where offenders receive treatment
for a 90-day period. Participation in either program is ordered by the court as a condition of supervised
probation, as a result of a TASC assessment referral, or as a condition of release from prison by the
Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission. After completion of the residential time period, the
offender returns to the community under the supervision of a probation/parole officer.
DART-90 is an intermediate punishment under the Structured Sentencing Act. The 90-day
program operates as a modified therapeutic treatment model. It strives to simulate the experiences of
living in a community, creating opportunities for participants to be part of a family and preparing them
for employment through job readiness courses. The program is divided into four phases: (1) three weeks
of orientation; (2) six weeks of treatment; (3) three weeks of reentry preparation; and (4) aftercare in the
community after release.
During orientation, offenders are introduced to the therapeutic model, including exposure to
rules, substance abuse education, activities, family organization, and mock encounter groups. During
treatment, offenders are involved in three groups to meet with counselors and peers. Offenders are
taught to take responsibility for their actions. Negative behaviors are addressed by their peers and in
encounter groups. Along with various treatment sessions and cognitive behavior intervention, offenders
receive life skills training, employment counseling, and may obtain a GED. The reentry period allows
time to develop a relapse prevention plan, prepare the offender to return to the community, and
coordinate the return with the supervising probation/parole officer. Offenders must also perform eight
hours of community service during the 90-day period.
Delancey Street Foundation
Delancey Street accepts misdemeanor and felony offenders, many of whom have substance
abuse problems. Delancey Street Foundation is a non-profit organization with residential centers in New
York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Mexico, and North Carolina. It is a residential educational
community with a self-governing philosophy that stresses acquiring life and job skills and teamwork. No
government funds are accepted, and no fee is charged; it is a self-supporting enterprise with donations
from the community. No one in Delancey Street Foundation receives a salary.
The North Carolina residence is in Greensboro. It opened in 1987 and has a capacity of 30. Most
residents come to Delancey Street Foundation from criminal justice agencies or the court, but anyone
can ask to come in on their own. Interviews for admission are conducted by other residents of Delancey
Street. Offenders must commit to a two-year stay and may be rotated among residential centers
throughout the country during that period if they are interested. Residents learn academic, vocational,
personal and interpersonal skills on an “each one teach one” concept. Old-fashioned values like the work
ethic and taking care of others are stressed. No professional therapy is provided; no drugs or alcohol or
threats of violence are allowed.

The Center for Community Transitions, Inc.
(formerly ECO, Inc.)
The Center for Community Transitions (CCT) is multi-faceted non-profit organization serving
people with criminal records and their families. Its mission is to strengthen the community by helping
offenders find a healthier and more productive way of living. CCT provides employment and transition
services, supports alternatives to incarceration, and restores and strengthens family bonds. Its programs
are based on two research findings that continue to hold true today: offenders who maintain family ties
while incarcerated and who become employed after incarceration are less likely to return to prison. In
FY 2008/09, CCT served over 2,100 people through its four programs.
The LifeWorks! transition program began in 1974, assisting people with criminal records with
their return to the community. Its goal is to reduce the return to prison or jail by providing stabilization
and reintegration services to people with criminal records and their families. LifeWorks! focuses on pre-release
planning, transition services, employment preparation, employment and retention. Participants
are assisted with basic needs such as housing, food, and clothing, as well as employment readiness and
job searches. LifeWorks! received grants for FY 2008/09 year for additional mental health, substance
abuse and security threat group (gang reentry) case managers, as well as Prison Reentry Initiative
Generation II grants.
Families Doing Time is made up of several components. Parenting classes are provided in the
Mecklenburg County Jail for men and women. Families Doing Time is a support group for families and
friends of inmates that meets twice monthly. Empowering Kids with Incarcerated Parents (EKWIP) is a
school based support group for children of incarcerated parents and offers services to their families.
The Center for Women opened in 1987 as a work release facility for female inmates who are
within three years of a release date. The Center focuses on work release but provides other opportunities
for the women to become better prepared for the transition from prison to the community. Participants
are selected by the Department of Correction based on the inmate’s promotion to Minimum Level III
and desire to participate in the program. The program capacity is 20 residents. Through their earnings,
residents contribute part of the cost of staying at the Center, and make payments toward child support,
restitution, court fees, and fines. The average length of stay is approximately 19 months. By fiscal year
end, the Center for Women will be in a new facility providing opportunities for 30 female inmates from
the western region.
Mecklenburg Sentencing Services became CCT’s fourth program in May of 2006. It provides
sentencing reports to the courts for defendants whose sentencing range includes both intermediate and
active punishment options.
FIRST at Blue Ridge, Inc.
(formerly Forsyth Initiative for Residential Self-Help Treatment, Inc.)
FIRST at Blue Ridge Inc., is a non-profit, long-term residential therapeutic program for
individuals with chronic substance abuse problems. The mission is to provide opportunity, guidance, and
education to those with addictions and assist them to make positive life changes in order to become
responsible and productive members of society. FIRST has been in operation since 1991 and is governed
by a volunteer Board of Directors. The three-acre treatment campus is located east of Asheville in
Ridgecrest, North Carolina; but clients come from across the state. They are referred by many sources
including family members, friends, former graduates, other treatment programs, the judicial system, and
probation and parole. FIRST offers its clients an array of services, including vocational and basic
education, individual and group therapy, referrals to intervention and prevention education for family
members, access to off-site, community-based medical and mental health services and the opportunity
for residents to enroll in local community and state colleges.
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09
2 6
FIRST is a highly structured, modified therapeutic community with a 12-step focused clinical
overlay. Residents in the long-term program pay a one time $170.00 program fee to enter the program
and they commit to remain until they successfully complete all program requirements, which include
completing the program curriculum, academic progress including working towards obtaining a GED,
obtaining a Narcotics or Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor, and active participation in the fellowships.
Residents are eligible to graduate after completing the core curriculum and other clinical activities
assigned by the staff, obtaining and maintaining a twelve-step sponsor, attaining Step Five in AA/NA,
and maintaining continuous gainful employment or college or trade school enrollment. Time in the
program prior to graduation is generally 12 months. At 10 months, a resident may apply for “re-entry”
if they meet the requirements. During re-entry, residents seek employment in the community to begin
saving funds for re-integration into society. Residents with obligations like child support, probation fees,
or restitution begin paying these debts in order to minimize their financial impact upon graduation.
After 12 months in the program or upon graduation, the resident may apply for admission to a
Recovery Cottage. Current cottage residents interview applicants and determine whom they will accept
into “their” houses. Cottage residency can continue up to eighteen months before the resident transitions
to independent living in the community.
“Vets FIRST” is a program available to veterans who have served their country and have a
General or Honorable Discharge. It is designed to prepare homeless, substance abusing veterans for
reintegration into their communities as productive, self-sufficient, and substance free citizens. FIRST is
one of the few groups in the nation to offer substance abuse treatment, case management, job placement
assistance, higher education referral, and room and board to homeless veterans.
FIRST is funded mostly through its Business Training Schools and contracts with local
employers who act as Vocational Training Partners. The Business Training Schools include operations
such as landscaping, local delivery services, painting, flooring and tile, general repair services and
commercial janitorial and custodial services. FIRST has also received support from grants and
foundations and is always seeking new funding streams.
Halfway Houses/Supervised Living SA Facilities
Halfway Houses/Supervised Living Substance Abuse (SA) Facilities are designed to provide
structured living environments for individuals with substance use disorders, and are licensed by the
Department of Health and Human Services as Supervised Living “Half-way houses.”
Halfway house residents must be engaged in outpatient treatment, and the goal is to return the
individual to independent living within a specified time. There are 47 Halfway Houses/Supervised
Living licensed facilities located in the following 25 counties: Alamance, Buncombe, Burke, Cabarrus,
Craven, Cumberland, Davidson, Durham, Forsyth, Gaston, Guilford, Harnett, Lincoln, Mecklenburg,
Moore, New Hanover, Orange, Randolph, Robeson, Rockingham, Sampson, Surry, Union, Vance and
Wayne. The total capacity for the 47 facilities is 618. There are 473 male beds, 145 female beds, and 0
beds for women with children. All beds are specifically for persons with substance use disorders. The
average halfway house has between 6-12 beds and the length of stay ranges from 2 months to 2 years
with an average of approximately 6-8 months.
The majority of facilities receive some public support for their services. In many cases, this
support is funneled through the local mental health and substance abuse public program. The
Department of Vocational Rehabilitation offers support to residents in halfway houses in the form of
training or funds while the person is seeking employment.
Most halfway house residents work in some capacity to help support their stay. Houses have
rules such as curfews, Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous attendance, no substance use, as
well as other policies. There are consequences for rule violations, including expulsion from the house.
These homes also work directly or indirectly with the criminal justice system, as some residents are on
probation or parole.

Oxford House
There are 133 Oxford Houses located in the following 25 counties: Alamance, Buncombe,
Burke, Catawba, Cumberland, Dare, Durham, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Guilford, Harnett, Iredell, Johnston,
Mecklenburg, Nash, New Hanover, Orange, Person, Pitt, Randolph, Rowan, Swain, Vance, Wake, and
Wayne. Oxford House has a total capacity 990 beds, 248 for women and 742 for men. The typical
number of beds in a house is 8.
Oxford House is the model of the self-run and self-supported recovery housing. The residents of an
Oxford House are totally self-supporting: they elect officers, take responsibility for the rent and upkeep
of the house, and operate the group house in a manner that provides mutual support for a fundamental
change in lifestyle to assure long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Attendance at Alcoholics
Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous meetings is mandatory. Each residence pays an average of $100.00
per week.
According to the final resident survey at the end of 2008, 81% of Oxford House residents had
served time in jail or some correctional facility, for an average of 17 months. Most houses had accepted
parolees and probationers as residents within the prior year.
Summit House
During FY 2008-2009, Summit House residential centers in Greensboro, and Charlotte, housed
female offenders (pregnant or the mothers of young children) convicted of nonviolent crimes. The
residential facility in Raleigh, NC is following in the footsteps of the Charlotte and Greensboro Summit
House sites in creating an opportunity to serve more families by using best practice standards, which
will improve programming and facilities. Summit House is currently investigating new options for a
facility in the Triangle.
The goal of Summit House is to break the cycle of crime. At Summit House, the family remains
intact while the woman satisfies her obligation to the criminal justice system. The center uses a
therapeutic community model to focus on improving education and life skills necessary for independent
living. Residents must be 18 or older and eligible for an intermediate punishment as the result of the
conviction for one or more nonviolent offenses; and their children must be 7 years of age or under.
Summit House provides and brokers individual, group, and substance abuse counseling, classes in basic
living skills, and access to GED classes and/or further education.
Summit House assists in returning offenders to employment and provides or brokers services for
the children of residents. The minimum stay at Summit House is 12 months. The total capacity of the
three Summit House residences is 22 families. As plans move forward for relocation of the Raleigh site,
total capacity is expected to increase to 32 families. The annual operating budget is approximately $1.8
million. Funds are provided to Summit House, Inc., a non-profit organization, by private sources and
state and local government sources.
Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers (TROSA)
Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers (TROSA) is a non-profit, two-year
residential, self-help program for substance abusers. The program emphasizes best practices in substance
abuse treatment along with vocational training, educational development, development of interpersonal
skills, and transition of residents back into the community. TROSA serves both men and women ages 18
and older. The program is located in Durham and provides program services for over 350 residents. The
TROSA program is available at no cost to the individual.
Vocational training: TROSA has developed several businesses that provide vocational
experience for residents. All TROSA residents acquire job skills and develop a work ethic through their
training experience; moreover, the income generated from the businesses helps to fund the program
Compendium of Community Corrections in N.C. FY 2008/09
2 8
costs. Businesses currently in operation include moving and storage, painting, brick masonry, catering,
lawn maintenance, picture framing, construction, automotive, a furniture store, and auto body and
painting. Consistent with the self-help nature of the program, residents also are involved in the
operations of the facility, which include the financial, administrative, and medical offices.
Educational development: Another critical component of the TROSA program is educational
development. Following the workday, residents without a high school diploma participate in literacy and
GED classes conducted by the Durham Technical Community College and volunteers from the
community. Residents also participate in computer classes held at the on-site computer lab. When
residents reach approximately 19 months in the program, they begin participating in personal finance,
job readiness, and relapse prevention classes. In addition, all residents benefit from daily motivational
and educational seminars. Several special interest and recreational classes also are offered, including
creative writing and art classes, and basketball and softball teams.
Development of interpersonal skills: The third component of the TROSA program relates to
developing interpersonal communication skills. TROSA offers a highly structured environment to help
residents address issues of substance abuse and addiction and establish a new direction for their lives
and families. Group sessions allow residents to benefit from the experiences of others and provide a
forum for interpersonal problem solving. Specific groups and classes are provided in anger management,
parenting, building relationships and gender specific classes for women in recovery. Residents also are
encouraged to volunteer and participate in community activities in order to learn how to have fun
without the influence of drugs and alcohol and to develop communication skills with people outside of
the TROSA community.
Transition back into the community: TROSA has developed a comprehensive program that
assists residents in their transitions back into the community upon graduation. Residents participate in a
job readiness class that prepares them for their job searches and employment outside of TROSA during
the last 3 months in the program. Residents save their incomes to assist them upon graduation. In
addition, residents can purchase cars donated to TROSA at the cost of parts to repair the vehicles.
Lastly, TROSA provides low-cost, sober housing for graduates. Graduates in housing are required to
attend bi-monthly group sessions with other graduates to help them maintain their sobriety.
